How to win the jungle race as Udyr against Brand · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Udyr's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Brand.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Udyr Dominant | A double stance point gives an instant trade pattern most junglers can't answer, while the Sear into Conflagration point-click burst wins the level-1 stat check. Only one of those wins at the first buff, so press it: take the level-1 crossing, then leave with a camp and a chunk of their health bar. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Udyr Dominant | Blazing Stampede's stun plus Wingborne Storm shred wins any straight fight. Ablaze combo poke chunks half a health bar through a wall, and with one camp still up on both sides that is not an answer. Take the level-2 skirmish and make Brand path away from the camps you want. |
| Level 3 Route | Udyr Dominant | Four stance points are online and your awakened trades hit their hardest window. There is no version of this Brand wins right now — the full E-Q stun rotation is their burst window before sustain kits stabilize, and that folds at the opening scuttle. Show on their side of the river and take the first scuttle and the gank window behind it. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Udyr Dominant — Keep Fighting | Levels 4-5 change nothing: you still win every straight duel vs Brand, and he converts 4-5 into cross-map 2v2s where a Conflagration bounce off a laner does most of the damage. Sit in their river, take both scuttles, and tax the camps they concede. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Stance Mastery Favoured | Awakened stance rotations on four points hit harder than most actual ultimates. Pyroclasm bounces melt any fight you take near teammates — respect that one window, but the six-spike comparison favors you: take the post-6 duel whenever HP bars start even. |
| First Item Spike | Trinity / Liandry Spike | Completing your core item triggers a massive damage and clear speed multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or isolated targets. Brand's first item makes the Sear-into-Conflagration rotation a full health bar on a squishy, with no auto-attacks needed. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Respect Brand Late — End Early | Brand out-stats you from two items on — stop taking straight 1v1s, close through objectives and picks, and keep the game on a clock. |
Start your clear at the Raptors or Red Buff utilizing Wingborne Storm (R) to maximize early clear speed. Brand clears with Pillar of Flame and Conflagration and is healthy at three, but the clear costs him most of his mana.
